All living beings and the interactions that bind them, among themselves and with the environment in which they live, are in constant evolution, under the effect of natural and anthropogenic selection processes. Humans are part of biodiversity and, as such, interact with other living beings and could not live without them. His health is therefore intimately linked to that of animals, plants and, more broadly, to that of the ecosystems within which life evolves. The concept of "one health" derives from this obviousness and requires a better understanding of the interrelationships between human health, animal health, plant health and ecosystem health.
The Covid-19 crisis reminds us of the complexity and all the uncertainty of the interactions between human and animal health as well as the global environments in which it takes place. For these living beings that we exploit, select or protect seem to have escaped our control, generating a global pandemic and, with it, bring guilt to the human population, which becomes responsible, through its impact on nature, for the emergence of the virus and its rapid spread in the majority of countries around the world.
This Congress proposes to contribute to the reflection on transitions towards a more preventive and sustainable model, by mobilizing all stakeholders to continue to co-construct solutions and recommendations for public action. To do so, it will be based on both reflections on what already exists and the views of practitioners, alternating a phase of plenary lectures and workshops. A few themes have been chosen for this first meeting. To illustrate the complexity of living organisms at the microscopic level, workshop 1 is devoted to microbiotes. However, this complexity must also be considered by reintegrating it into the organizational, economic and development frameworks that have been highlighted by the COVID crisis 19. Workshops 2, 3 and 4 address the links between agriculture and food at the heart of the emergence of infectious pathologies, the more integrated consideration of wildlife and, finally, the impacts of a massive use of biocides on cross-resistance. Finally, our reflection will benefit from combining a reflection on public policies, particularly on the links between the scales of public action (territorial, national, European and international) in workshops 5 and 6, with a prospective analysis of the training of the various stakeholders, starting with health professionals in workshop 7. By bringing together actors from various horizons, the conference proposes to put our model of health crisis management under discussion and to think about the contours of a new governance of health at the national, European and international levels.
In particular, this congress proposes four levels of questioning:
-What is the scientific knowledge in human and veterinary medicine, ecology or social sciences on which the debate is based?
-What is the status of public policies in the territories?
-How to think about the relationship between local initiatives, national steering and European and international standards?
What training for decision-makers and healthcare professionals?
We will therefore move from a state of science and public policies to proposals and recommendations for action, from research to local policies, in our territories, our socio-ecosystems.
This conference will thus allow different actors to cross their views, between scientists, decision-makers and public actors, with a view to mutual enrichment, in order to think about the contours of public policies.
